By removing Chevron deference, it sparks a wave of litigation that may allow challengers to overturn conservative rollbacks. Michael Popok delves into how this shift can reshape agency rules affecting everything from healthcare to environmental protections. With newfound momentum, progressives have strategic paths to tackle industry-favoring regulations and push back on corporate interests. It's a game-changer in the ongoing political landscape.
